THE Maitland-Newcastle Catholic Diocese has come under fire once again for their handling of notorious paedophile priest Vincent Ryan's death, accused of running a "public relations" exercise to change the narrative.
Ryan, who was convicted of sexually abusing 37 boys, died on April 13. While some members of the clergy were informed, it was otherwise kept secret and he was reportedly buried a priest in keeping with his wishes made clear to the church before his death.
